What type of engine oil is generally used for Geely Emgrand?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand generally uses 5W30 engine oil. The 5 represents resistance to external low temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius, W indicates suitability for winter, and 30 denotes a kinematic viscosity standard of 30 at 100 degrees Celsius. Geely Emgrand is a sub-brand under the parent brand Geely, positioned as a compact family car, available in both China V and China VI versions. The vehicle dimensions are 4623mm in length, 4789mm in width, 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. In terms of safety features, the Geely Emgrand is equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, driver and passenger airbags, tire pressure monitoring, cruise control, auto hold, hill start assist, rearview camera, automatic headlights, and more.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for almost three years now, and I always use 5W-30 full synthetic oil for routine maintenance, such as Mobil 1 or Shell brands. Since the engine is a 1.5L naturally aspirated, this viscosity is neither too thick in summer nor too thin in winter, saving fuel and protecting engine components. Last time at the 4S shop, the technician recommended changing the oil every 5,000 kilometers to avoid carbon buildup and wear. Semi-synthetic oil is also an option—cheaper but requiring more frequent changes, with overall costs being similar. Remember not to buy no-name oils from roadside stalls, as fakes are common and can damage the engine. Regularly checking the oil level is a good habit. If you're changing the oil yourself, check the manual first to avoid using the wrong type.
